Poly Styrene: Generation Indigo, CD review

The former singer of 1977 punk combo X-Ray Spex, Poly Styrene was famed for her dental braces, Day-Glo threads and gender politics. Though her career has been occasional, momentum from a recent Spex reunion has resulted in this terrific solo record, which channels her kitschy style into a synthy pop sound. Currently battling cancer, Styrene musically shines brighter than ever.
